Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 99

New Sword Belt (5)

Despite Jeongyeonshin’s discomfort, the girl was beautiful.

Sabak.

He took two more steps forward from the crowd of Muryonghoe. He walked with a graceful demeanor and bowed slightly, and his slow movements gave off a sense of nobility.

“I want you to know that I have no intention of being hostile.”

The girl said in greeting. Her smiling face was very relaxed. Even though she was in front of the first military unit of Ip Hwang Seong.

The doctor knew that he had a rare liver.

“Personality, purpose.”

The person who confronted him was a young man. He was said to be the youngest in the Shingeomdae and take on the dirty work.

The short remark seemed rude, but no one seemed to mind.

The same was true for Jeongyeonshin. That must be the external appearance of the Shingeomdae.

‘To any martial artist, you must be seen as a strong person… … .’

The boy took a fresh look at the masters of the Shingeomdae.

Yeon So-ha, who stands in the lead with a rough attitude like a gangster, Shin Geum-dan-ju, who looks like he’s out for a walk, and Ak Soo-rim, who stands with his legs crossed and his backpack behind his back.

Although he didn’t show any serious aura, he was more threatening than anyone else.

It wasn’t just them. Each of the twenty Shingeomdae warriors possessed powerful powers.

It doesn’t end with energy, as he must have fought through countless battlefields on the front lines of the mission to enter the Imperial City.

It had to be considered stronger than most masters of the same level.

‘Can I put you under me?’

Jeongyeonshin thought.

If we were to achieve our goal, we would have to lead them. It was not something we could even think about doing now. It didn’t seem possible at all.

In order to sit on the left of the new sword master, one must first pass through the position of the new sword master. The current vice-master, Aksurim, was a black master and seemed like he could even argue with Majin.

‘It’s obvious. I’ve even done the Banrohwandong. I can’t even imagine how much I’ve achieved in qigong.’

For a moment, Aksurim and his gaze met. He winked at her, but Jeongyeonshin turned away indifferently and stared straight ahead.

“Confucius?”

The conversation between the Muryonghoe girl and Yeon So-ha continued.

“I asked first? Are you trying to show off your skills as a Sapa?”

“Now I see. You said there was an incredibly sharp broom in the Divine Sword Hall. Is that the same as the Divine Sword Sharpener, Yeon So-ha?”

“You’re so good at guessing nicknames I don’t like. Want to try it out?”

“I’m sorry I didn’t notice. Please put that away.”

The gossip was not directed at Yeon-ha. Five or six bloodthirsty demons who had completely lost their sense of humor were rushing toward him.

When the Blood Flame Cult changed course, he broke away from the group. Even when facing the wave of the new sword master, he did not follow the command of the Blood Flame Cult swordsmen.

Eyes glowing with red light, a mouth with its tongue sticking out.

He is on the verge of becoming possessed by a demon, unable to handle the bloodshed.

Even at first glance, he looked like he wasn’t in his right mind, but the direction of his gaze as he ran towards him was clear.

He was aiming for Jeongyeonshin. The direction he was running towards from the front side was also the same.

‘I remember.’

These were the faces I had seen at the Blood Flame Cult headquarters. They seemed to have been absent before the day of the headquarters attack. They had avoided trouble by doing other things.

They seemed to be saying something with their dull lips. Grand Master, Grand Master, please protect us… … .

‘The Lord said. The Blood Flame Cult Leader is alive. But he can’t be okay. We have to assume he’s still recovering from the aftermath of the fight.’

The boy simply stroked the sword. Kangho Eunwon said that he had to tie the knot himself.

I couldn’t just leave those lunatics to babble on and on about Taesa. I walked right behind Yeon-seo-ha, thinking I would step forward if necessary.

Now, the dignity of a martial artist is quite evident in his conduct. Considering his age, it could be said that he is indeed early.

“They say the Blood Flame Cult’s headquarters collapsed, but now it’s become a rabble. There must be many branches.”

The Muryonghoe girl who glanced at Jeongyeonshin spoke. The Muryonghoe warriors behind her were following her orders.

The word ‘chiwoo’.

A light word caused a strong aftermath. The aura of the soldiers who rushed out immediately was amazing.

They were escorting a girl who appeared to be of high status.

It seemed to be composed of the thirteen thousand most elite martial artists, and their martial arts, including swordsmanship and sorcery, instantly killed the demons.

The Sapa was different from the Jeongpa. Even though they were both Sapa, they did not hold back on their actions.

“The knife skills are pretty good.”

Yeon-ha whispered to Jeong-yeon-shin with a sneer. The boy was silently watching the dying demons.

When there was no response from Jeong Yeon-shin, Yeon So-ha shrugged her shoulders and snorted at the Muryonghoe girl.

“Weighing without lifting a finger. Are you not a robot?”

“There is no one in the Muryonghoe who is not a warrior. Likewise, there is no one who can be defeated by lowly demons.”

The girl said with a smile.

“If there is one, it would be right for it to disappear.”

The words spoken with a pretty face were cold. Judging from his composure, it seemed like he didn’t care if he lost a few of his subordinates.

It was a place where those who were so obsessed with learning that they even turned their backs on monks gathered, and it could be called Muryonghoe.

‘Muryonghoe. I heard that it never causes harm to the common people.’

A rare occurrence among the thirteen thousand.

That’s why the Shingeomdae didn’t bother to draw their swords first. Muryonghoe was that kind of place.

Those who entered as disciples of various schools and took away the essence of learning turned their backs on the monks.

He said that he wanted to develop himself by sharing his martial arts skills with other people in other waves.

He disrupts the unwritten rules of the Central Plains martial arts world. He is a traitor.

The classification of powers was done from the perspective of the martial arts world. The Muryonghoe directly defied the ethics of martial arts.

So it was Sapa. Also, it was Thirteen Heavenly because it was particularly strong among them.

‘The eyes of the Emperor are different.’

It doesn’t disrupt people’s lives? There’s no reason to be hostile.

That was the case as long as the people were not caught up in the fight between their own men.

Jeongyeonshin looked at the warriors returning from killing the blood demons. Not everyone was safe.

There was a man with a long wound on his arm, but the girl from the Muryonghoe laughed silently even after seeing the serious injuries of her ally.

“The achievements are insufficient.”

“I will do my best.”

There was no sign of anything different in the exchange. If I could have sensed even a hint of anger, I would have felt better.

That’s right, Thirteen Thousand. It’s a strange behavior that’s enough to be called a Sapa in the martial arts world.

However, the masters of the Shingeomdae, except for Jeong Yeon-shin, seemed to think so. It seemed like they had experienced at least ten places in the Thirteen Heavens.

“Thanks for taking care of it for me. So, what is your name and title?”

Yeon-hwa asked calmly.

“Hwayeonbi (a series of unfortunate concubines).”

The girl said.

Jeongyeonshin had heard a lot. Just like the Shingeomdae, there are all kinds of strange people in the martial arts world.

I asked two questions and got the same answer. The name meant the position. However, it was difficult to guess the meaning of the position.

It seemed like it was burning like that.

“The queen and disaster are connected? I don’t understand what that means.”

The girl, Hwa Yeon-bi, smiled silently.

After hearing the talk of disaster, Jeong Yeon-shin fiddled with the Ip-Hwang-Geom again.

The Muryonghoe was said to be a sect that abandoned etiquette and law and only pursued martial arts.

He never made the mistake of looking down on his opponents. He never got involved with the Thirteen Heavenly Kings and was easily overcome.

It has been like this from the time of my initiation into the world of Buddhism until now.

It was something he was getting used to. If the boy didn’t let his guard down and stretched out his sword, his opponent would have to choose.

Either die carelessly or die after giving it your all.

‘If you are truly a high ranking member of the Muryonghoe.’

Hwa Yeon-bi may be a rare genius in the human world, or she may have been born with rare abilities like a famous person.

If not, he could be a mid-level expert who is already in his 60s, like Aksurim.

From past to present, the upper echelons of the martial arts world have been said to be such a place.

“I came to see the Lord of the Shingumdanju. The battle between Namgung Gaju and Iphwangseong Shingum was truly impressive.”

The girl said politely.

“I salute you, Danju. You were someone anyone would have desperately wanted to see.”

“You didn’t have any other intentions? Maybe you just wanted to see the liver at least once.”

Yeon-hwa said, lifting one leg crookedly. Hwa-yeon-bi shook her head.

“This association is a sect that worships only martial arts. How could we act rashly? In front of the Master of the New Sword, who is right below the pinnacle of martial arts in the world.”

“Below the peak?”

“The best in the world is said to be the Lord of the Heavenly Palace… … .”

“Muryonghoe. They say the monsters gathered here.”

The one who interrupted was the Shingeomdanju. Hwa Yeon-bi’s face became tense for the first time.

“The Lord of the True Nature is not someone you can discuss with your fellows. How can you place the Lord of the Iphwangseong Castle above the aspirations of the rascals of the martial arts world? If you are talking about the best in the world as a martial artist, then I alone am sufficient.”

He was crazy. He said he was the best in the world. But it felt natural.

As the Shingeomdanju said, excluding Iphwangseongju, Jeongyeonshin couldn’t think of many others who could be considered the top.

‘The leader of the Blood Flame Cult, the leader of the Sword of the Lost Ark, the leader of the Jongnam Cult, the Jongnam Sword Master… … .’

They all possessed tremendous power. In particular, Jongnam Swordsman was the only one since Iphwangseongju to see through Jeongyeonshin’s constitution.

However, the presence of the new swordsman was strangely different. Rather than being particularly strong, it felt more distinct.

It didn’t seem like he would lose any fight.

“… … .”

When Hwa Yeon-bi closed her mouth for a moment, Ak Soo-rim, who had come up next to Jeong Yeon-shin, opened his lips.

“You, dear. I have a feeling your business is elsewhere.”

She said with a small smile. There was a hint of ferocity in her faint smile.

“I already know. You’ve been sneaking around our island. Your quirks are really obvious.”

“ah.”

A little elasticity.

Hwayeonbi’s face took on a faint color. It was as if she had been waiting for those words.

Her smile, which seemed even childish, deepened. Then, she moved her ruby-like lips.

“That person. His nickname was Seomye, right?”

A hand so delicate that it could be called a “fine jade hand” pointed at Jeong Yeon-shin.

“I saw an amazing performance. So I wanted to invite you to the meeting.”

That was when.

The boy showed signs of having a broken heart. A great disappointment seemed to beat through his heart and into his chest.

For a moment, I couldn’t hide my expression. What is this, Muryonghoe? What is this, the best in the world?

“Of course, I am not saying that you dare to move from Iphwangseong to Samun. It’s just… … .”

“If only the business was mine alone.”

Jeongyeonshin turned her head as she opened her mouth. Her words were directed at Aksurim and Shingeomdanju. She no longer had Hwayeonbi in her sights.

“I think we can continue our journey now. We have completed our mission, so we should return quickly.”

“… … Really? Is that so?”

The new sword master answered in a bewildered manner. Jeong Yeon-shin was now accustomed to his multifaceted appearance. She nodded silently.

The new sword master smiled brightly.

“We don’t really have anything to do. Let’s go on our way. Do you agree with the adults?”

“… It’s right for you to take responsibility for this trip.”

Mayeonjeok gave a short answer. The way he was glaring at the Muryonghoe group was ominous.

It seemed that Hwa Yeon-bi was upset because she had her grandson in her mouth.

Damn it.

They started to advance again. The masters of the Shingeomdae did not care about the distance between them and their potential enemies.

The whole party passed by Muryonghoe.

“what…….”

Hwa Yeon-bi’s gaze, as if she was amazed, was stinging, but Jeong Yeon-shin ignored it and kept walking. She even closed her eyes.

To organize the insights I gained while observing the inside of the body of the new sword master. And I was still able to walk.

How many steps did I take? When the aftermath of the landslide behind me began to subside, a refreshing scent suddenly hit me.

Jeongyeon Shin furrowed her brows and slightly fell to the side.

I knew it even with my eyes closed. It was the Iphwangsinchang Aksurim.

“Hey, hey. What’s wrong? Why are you doing that? That pretty girl invited me because she saw your skills.”

“……hand.”

“huh?”

Jeongyeonshin slowly opened her eyes.

“It was a beautiful hand. He was the one who said that his subordinate’s achievements were lacking.”

“ah.”

Aksurim’s lips formed a curved line. It seemed as if he was saying that he was proud.

“It is said that a peerless swordsman holds the years of famine in his palm. It refers to calluses. It is said that not all martial arts in the world leave marks on the practitioner’s hands, but the martial arts I have learned do. I was not curious about her martial arts.”

“hmm…….”

“If Hwa Yeon-bi was born with innate abilities, then there is nothing for me to learn… … If she is a master who has been through the Banrohwandong, then it means that she has been lazy in practicing her martial arts since then, so there is no reason for me to listen to her story. The world’s martial arts are constantly developing. Rather than responding to someone like that, I thought it would be better to seek teachings from Senior Ak.”

“You’re quite interesting, aren’t you?”

It was when the corners of Aksurim’s mouth went up even higher.

The new sword master suddenly stopped walking and opened his mouth.

“Are there any eyes watching around? Everyone, tell me. Quickly.”

“None. I don’t think there are any.”

It was right after Yeon-hwa quickly responded.

Woof woof!

With a very reckless sound, the new sword master vomited out blood. It was a considerable amount.

It was like pouring water drawn from a mountain spring with a bucket. The only difference was that it was black.

It was evidence of internal injury. It showed the sight of Namgung Gaju being defeated in a short battle. It may have been a reasonable price to pay.

Wow!

The masters of the Shingeomdae moved with their swords in order to form a formation.

It was a circular shape centered around the Shingeomdanju. It was a large formation that protected the law.

“Namgung Gaju. He was my greatest enemy for the past three years. Do you rarely face Palgaju?”

Aksurim shook his head and said, his small face showing worry.

The new sword master bent his upper body and placed his hands on both knees.

He continued to spit out the blood he had been holding back, and Jeong Yeon-shin could only look at him cautiously.

Now the bloodstains have turned red again.

The boy opened his mouth slowly.

“If you have been patient until now, it would have been right not to deal with the Muryonghoe. Even if they have doubts, that would be right. I heard that the body of the single-minded person is a treasure of the nature. Think of your body… … .”

“Island? What are you talking about now? No matter how much I try to force it.”

The new sword master smiled with bloody lips. His eyes seemed to light up for a moment.

“Are you the only one who will do it?”
